Here's a reflection on how the management style of the emergency physician in charge (EPIC) can mean the difference between life and death

Just released - here’s our look at the impact of an ESSA on patient flow in a rural setting of ⁦@IllaShoalHealth⁩. “Emergency short stay area improves access and flow in a rural hospital” - ⁦@EMAJournal⁩ ⁦with the wonderful @annestir⁩ https://t.co/TP5EqPVPSi

Everyone! I've solved it. Once, I was told by an administrator that everything that happens in a hospital is measurable. I emotively disagreed, citing things such as human kindness, care, culture. However, I have worked out an equation that mathematically explains ED overcrowding

@LucyHindle1 LOL this is me too 😂😂

[Michael Hall @hallpaintings]

Heartbreaking watching the demise of the acute care system in Australia. Today's versions. 5 day waits for a bed. Ambulance delays. 7 to 10 hour waits to be seen for sick kids. Meeting no one's expectations (including our own)and not able to support community fully when needed.

@Almero @WestCapeHealth Congrats @Almero ! That sounds just up your alley.

Such an excellent session on gender inequality in EM at #ICEM2022

[anne creaton @annecreaton]

So crucial we build trust by putting people at the centre of our health systems. Relationships are key. Community partnerships. This needs to be part of the vision of our health systems #ICEM22

[Anne Smith @annestir]

[Anne Smith @annestir]

@karenmilford Bath time.. without a doubt. So boring I could die.

@Obcast No data at all @Obcast . Just more misinformation. @DrJenGunter covers this pretty well in a recent IG post.

[Anne Smith @annestir]

Man it’s been a long time since I was at a conference! Loving this session at #acemws21. @acemonline

[Anne Smith @annestir]

Great talk this morning from @heng_foong at #acemws21. Climate change is a healthcare emergency. Wish I was in Cairns but grateful for online conferences!@acemonline

[Anne Smith @annestir]

@ketaminh Agree- have never seen a Covid patient. We’ve had less than 40 in our LHD since it started.Also was pregnant in 2020 & was scheduled on the “cold” side of our ED thanks to a great boss. now coming back off Mat leave & am vaccinated- feel much more comfortable going in this time!
